In the '''midterm elections of 1970''', the [[Democratic Party]] gained 12 seats in the [[U.S. House of Representatives]] while [[Republican]]s gained two seats in the [[U.S. Senate]]. Democrats retained their majorities in both houses of Congress. Democrats also gained ten governorships.
[[President Nixon]] set the tone of the campaign on morality, law and order and denouncing antiwar protesters. Democrats focused on the [[economy]], with [[unemployment]] and [[inflation]] at 6-percent. Democrats increased their majority in the House by a dozen seats. Republicans fared better in the upper chamber, defeating three Democratic Senators, including [[Al Gore Sr.]] of [[Tennessee]]. Conservative Party candidate [[James Buckley]] defeated liberal Republican [[Charles E. Goodell]] and the Democratic challenger in [[New York]].
